'Let us rejoice' that 'adorable' Mbappe plays for PSG - Leonardo

The phenom has been criticised for a poor reaction to being substituted in a recent Ligue 1 game but the club's sporting director praised him

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo has defended “adorable” Kylian Mbappe from criticism, saying the team’s fans should “rejoice” that he’s with the club.

The 21-year-old striker’s attitude has been questioned in some quarters after a spat with manager Thomas Tuchel followed being substituted against Montpellier on February 1.

Leonardo conceded that Mbappe’s behaviour was less than ideal, but said that claims he was spoiled were wide of the mark.
